Advocate-on-Record · Supreme Court of India
“I practise law for a living. I think about everything else for free.”
Who I Am
Sixteen years at the Bar.
Still learning.
I am an Advocate-on-Record at the Supreme Court of India — a designation the Court grants to those it trusts with its process. My practice sits at the intersection of insolvency and restructuring, commercial disputes, and arbitration. I work with businesses at inflection points: when things are complicated, when the stakes are real, and when clarity matters.
Most days, the work is less dramatic than it sounds. You read, you think, you argue, you write. You lose cases you should have won and occasionally win ones you probably should not have. You keep going.

Something I Keep Thinking About
Why does a process built for speed so often produce delay?
Arbitration was designed as an escape route from slow courts. It promised party autonomy, flexible procedure, and finality. In practice, it has inherited many of the delay pathologies it was meant to cure — and occasionally invented new ones of its own.
My doctoral research at RGNUL sits at this intersection: how do we preserve the fairness that justifies arbitration while recovering the speed that originally made it worth choosing? It is a harder question than it looks. Most solutions to delay in arbitration either sacrifice procedural fairness or simply relocate the bottleneck.
I do not have a clean answer yet. That is rather the point.
